Custom Plugins, using web implementation for iOS/Android

[gnesher]

Hi,

Until recently plugins had constructor property called platforms which supposedly enabled the web implementation to be used for other platforms (iOS/Android).

The property is now marked as deprecated and I was wondering what led to this decision and if there's a simple way to achieve the same results.

For example, web share API, especially in Android/Chrome should offer feature parity with the native share (from what I can tell), if we want to switch using it in the future what's the migration path?

Yes, good question. I'm about to release an enhancement to plugins that lets us easily mix and match web/native code.

Plugins are changing a lot on v3 and a few things are being deprecated, but you can still use the web implementation like this:
